It is 2018 and I am all in on Multi-Target projects for building libraries and plugins. I love them so much that I convinced Frank to record a full episode of Merge Conflict on why this whole thing is so absolutely amazing.

I have slowly been converting all of my plugins over to mutli-targeted projects, which has reduced some of the solutions from 15 project down to 1!!!

There is a bit of tiny setup required for multi-targeting and for it to automatically pump out the NuGet package for you, which is why I updated my Plugin for Xamarin Templates for Visual Studio 2017! It handles everything for you automatically :)
